Vampires and werewolves

I posted an answer to a question on Quora yesterday that I want to post here. The question was "If a vampire bites a werewolf would it be a vampire, a werewolf vampire or still a werewolf?" And I shall post the link to it at the bottom of this entry. Here is my comment (different pictures used here, some paragraphs made and slight edits:

A vampire
is undead. It should be affected by a werewolf bite. If a werewolf was
bitten by a vampire, the werewolf would probably die. If an ordinary
wolf or a dog were bitten by a vampire, they would become savage
monsters. Werewolves
and vampires crossing over is Hollywood. In actuality, werewolves are
not as you think, but neither are vampires. I’ll spare you the boring
historic answers. I’ll jump straight to the original meanings in Europe.

A werewolf originally was a warrior who dressed in a wolf’s pelt and
wolf’s head, entered battle and took on this berserker (Ulfhednar) mode,
or blood rage. Vikings included Berserkers and Ulfhendar. So feared
were they, these animals (mainly wolves and bears) turning into men with
weapons. It’s also to do with the fact these selected warriors of
Berserkers and Ulfehdnar had lycanthropy and were shamanic
therianthropes.

Vampires started out as ghost stories of the dead
returning to feed on the blood of the living. They have tales from
various sources but linked with parasitic entities. Some true vanpires
they say are people who suffer rare skin conditions and blood disorders.
Vampires and werewolves both reached their horrific reputations thanks
to history itself, mass murderers, ruthless blood suckers, infamous
warlords, the Plague and rabid animals. Then you’ve got the early gothic
horror literatures (dark fairytales like Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and
“Red Riding Hood” by the Brothers Grimm).Werewolf fictionVampire fiction

We’ve
been on a diet of films and TV for generations now. Amongst that is
full of horror stories, films, dramas and series on werewolves and
vampires. Music also, art too. People love to be scared. So when a
vampire bites a werewolf, is it a diseased undead person biting a
warrior shapeshifter with rabies? Or is it an undead person who loves
drinking blood for survival? Is the werewolf someone controlled by the
moon into becoming a wolf? or is it someone who is just mad?
